I had the hardest time choosing what to order because all the fall signature drinks looked incredible. The barista recommended the Turon Au Lait - freshly brewed coffee, banana syrup, and steamed milk, topped with a brûléed sugar top. This was insane! I couldn't necessarily taste banana, but the flavors went together so well. It was cool to get a signature drink made with drip coffee rather than espresso, and the brûléed sugar top was incredible. Would love to return for more!

The nice barista explained that the coffee menu changes frequently. The single origin coffees cost $1 more. She said it gets really busy, but I got there at just the right time to order without waiting in line. Free Wi-Fi with seating inside and out. The plentiful availability allowed me to find a seat on the sidewalk that allowed me to catch a few rays with my latte on a sunny day. Such goodness. Lots of folks there working on their laptops inside. A mom happily nursing and some folks lost in conversation outside. There my soul received the sweet caress of a perfectly balanced rose latte. Great coffee and good vibes in West Berkeley.

There are plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It's super cool that they roast their own beans in-store.

We were in line for Record Store Day at Open Mind Music down the street. It was early in the morning and cold, so we thought coffee would be perfect--we ordered online through their site (Square), then walked a couple of minutes over to Highwire. Once we got there, we waited only for a little bit before they called our name and handed us our coffees. The drinks were both good and I'd love to be back to try their other coffees, as it seems like plenty of other people have said good things about them. Thanks for helping us warm up!

It was a Saturday afternoon and there were some people inside the cafe doing some work. I stopped by with my dog who was in her dog bag and the worker was kind enough to let me order my drink without having to leave my dog outside! I ordered an Iced Black Sesame Latte with Oatmilk. 10/10. Everything was perfectly balanced! The coffee flavor was there but also the sesame flavor. Super refreshing! There were also some seating outside the coffee shop. Not too many but it is still available! Overall, great and friendly service, quick service, and great coffee! I would highly recommend if you wanted a quick stop for some craft coffee!

The interior makes one feel that you are in a high end cafe with its beautiful decor. Some many items to choose from, the person taking my order was very helpful in explaining the different kinds of drinks and pastries. Ordered the Ginger Honey Jobani as a hot drink, Biscoff Milkcake, Honeycomb, and a Beef Fatayer. There were several kinds of milkcakes which would have the texture like a tres leches cake. The Honeycomb had pockets of cream cheese and was drizzles with honey. The Meat Fatayer is like an empanada. The food and drink were very tasty. Highly recommend to stop by Sanaa Cafe and experience it. Their website shows more cafe openings in the future!

The baristas and workers have a great system in place to keep moving orders along. There is plenty of seating inside, but it does get pretty cramped with the large crowd rush. I decided to try the mazapan peanut frappe as I love mazapan and was intrigued by how it would taste in a drink. I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and sweet it was! The peanut gives a slight salty and nutty flavor profile to the drink. I really enjoyed it! Overall, I would love to come back and try more of their drinks!
